BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypical biomarker of inflammation. Genetic variations within the CRP gene have been shown to be associated with alterations of CRP expression and prognosis in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between four polymorphisms of the CRP gene, CRP serum levels, clinicopathological parameters of cervical cancer and...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive and specific marker of systemic inflammation in dogs, valuable for diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory diseases. The use of CRP in canine medicine has however been hampered by the lack of automated assays optimized for measuring CRP in this species. The need for improved CRP assays was the reason for initiating the current project, with the goal to gen...

objective(s)the aim of this study was to evaluate plasma levels of nitric oxide (no) and certain acute phase proteins(caeruloplasmin, transferrin, haptoglobin, c-reactive protein) in nigerian subjects after short and prolonged exercises.materials and methodsa total of 57 subjects (34 males and 23 females) between ages of 19 and 45 years participated in this study and weredivided into three grou...

background and objective: the aim of this study was to determine the level of plasma high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in preeclampsia and to compare hs-crp levels between normal pregnant women, mild preeclamptic, and severe preeclamptic women. materials and methods: serum hs-crp levels were investigated in 40 cases of normal pregnant women, 37 cases with mild preeclampsia and 38 cases...

background and objective: brucellosis is a main transmittable zoonotic disease, which is endemic, and a common health burden in iran. adenosine deaminase (ada) is an essential enzyme which is involved in purine metabolism and its role in immune system is very important. the aim of this study was to determine serum changes of ada and c-reactive protein (crp) levels in patients with brucellosis. ...

conclusions crp, a well-known acute phase reactant that increases rapidly in various inflammatory processes, can be accepted as a strong predictor in classifying different grades of the disease, and treatment can be reliably planned according to this classification. results mean crp levels of groups were found to be significantly different, 18.96 mg/l in group i, 133.51 mg/l in group ii, and 23...

conclusions considering that no significant difference was found in the proven vitamin a side effects, due to the increase in crp, frequent clinical and biochemical controls are required along with vitamin a supplementation. patients and methods this study was a double blind randomized clinical trial. in the main study, vitamin a (as retinyl palmitate) was given to 35 multiple sclerosis (ms) pa...
